Description

Student-activated rubrics can help students learn more effectively, cultivate self-efficacy, and sidestep assignment pitfalls. In fact, students’ work improves when they analyze their own and peers’ work with a rubric. Rubrics can foster self-regulation, reduce anxiety, and nurture students’ metacognition skills. In this session, we’ll examine how to activate rubrics as self- and peer- assessment tools, guide students through the explicit pathway to success that your rubric creates, and engage students in co-creating, revising, clarifying, and improving rubrics. We’ll also share a synopsis of the latest research on rubrics and encourage you to try an idea or two with your students.
